Just heard on the radio that another Trump supporter has been raided. Somebody named Clark I believe?
CNN sounds perplexed because the FBI did not tell them in advance, as they normally do.
Trump on Tuesday night amended his March lawsuit accusing Clinton of leading a vast conspiracy against him to add details gleaned from testimony and evidence from Special Counsel John Durham’s failed prosecution of longtime Democratic lawyer Michael Sussmann last month in Washington.
Trump’s revised suit also adds U.S. Representative Adam Schiff and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to a case that already has dozens of defendants, accusing them of working with Clinton to smear Trump while he was in office.

"I am going to march down there - I've never told anyone this, because it just happened - and I am going to identify every single document that they blocked from being declassified at the National Archives and we are going to start putting that information out next week."

AMTRAK being one of Biden's pet projects, he rode publicly between DC and DE his whole career. Hunter was on the board, for some reason.
A Younger Biden Goes the Extra Miles for Amtrak (Politico, 2007)
For the most part, as Gilbert and Sullivan might have put it, R. Hunter Biden is the very model of a modern major lobbyist. He has an office near K Street, a blue-ribbon roster of clients, and his firm, Oldaker Biden & Belair, made $1.76 million in lobbying revenue in the first half of 2006.
In one way, however, he stands apart from the well-shod group that visits Capitol Hill on behalf of their clients. Ever since President Bush nominated Biden in 2006 to serve a five-year term on the Amtrak board, the Yale law school graduate has spent a good deal of his time advocating without pay on behalf of the hard-pressed, government-subsidized nationwide railroad. He is the sole Democrat on the seven-member panel, which has two vacancies.
As a quasi-government entity, Amtrak is barred by law from lobbying Congress. "But they have an effective advocate in Hunter Biden," said David R. Johnson, assistant director of the National Association of Railroad Passengers, a non-partisan, membership-based advocacy group that lobbies Congress and the executive branch.
The political situation changed when President Richard M. Nixon signed the Rail Passenger Service Act of 1970, creating the quasi-governmental corporation that soon came to be known as Amtrak.

I also am wondering about the whole nicotine thing. I used to smoke cigarettes. I switched to vaping and never looked back. I don't vape much, never tried the juuels that the government is so upset about. But why legalize pot and other drugs and declare war on nicotine. Will they ban the patches also? Just to make it clear, my lungs are checked once a year, because I use to smoke cigarettes, and they are perfectly fine. Like I said, I don't vape much. Besides the smoke, does nicotine have some benefits they don't want us to know about?

QAnon influencers are now reportedly defrauding their followers via cryptocurrency scams
Weaponizing conspiracy theories for cold, hard cash.
You may not have heard very much about QAnon in recent months, but believers in the right-wing conspiracy theory are very much still around.
And those believers are proving to be easy-to-dupe marks for influential QAnon promoters looking to make money.
Two QAnon influencers are using their cachet within their conspiratorial communities to prey on their followers and bilk them out of millions of dollars via cryptocurrency scams, according to a new report by the tech-based fact-checking firm Logically.
Using their large followings on Telegram, QAnon influencers Whiplash347 and PatriotQakes have promoted numerous fraudulent tokens to their followers on the messaging platform. The two, along with other leaders in the chats, frequently weaponize QAnon conspiracy theories in order to sucker their fans into investing in their various cryptocurrency schemes.
“I am without doubt that Whiplash347, Emily, and QSI are scam artists,” said a former admin of the QSI chats, Rocky Morningside, to Logically. “[They] were promoting pump and dumps, and this appeared to be a very large and well organized Ponzi Scheme.”
The QAnon influencers appear to use these conspiracies in their money-making schemes. The channels release investment advice regarding which cryptocurrency assets to buy into. They would claim this investing knowledge came from "secret military intelligence" and that this meant they "knew which assets were going to succeed." According to the Logically report, the Telegram chat leaders would also reference supposed connections to "Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JFK Jr," and claim that "aliens will facilitate a 'quantum' wealth transfer to the followers."
